FLOATING PLANTS 
S OME of the finest aquatics will grow and 
bloom merely floating on the water sur¬ 
face, deriving nourishment from the air 
and water. In nature they drift to shallow wa¬ 
ter where the roots soon anchor and growth is 
very rapid. In other words, Floating Aquatics 
are always at home in any pool.

Submersed or 
Oxysenatins Plants 
Whatever the size or style of the pool, you . .ii 
wish the water to be pure and clear. Plants gri -w- 
ing under water absorb impurities and rele; -o 
oxygen to destroy them. Oxygenating plants ai e 
indispensable when fish are present as they pro¬ 
vide a perfect balance for the animal life. Sub¬ 
merged plants also provide cover and protection 
^baby fish should any be hatched in your pool. 
The use of submerged or oxygenating plants in 
aquariums is more fully discussed under the 
heading of oxygenating plants 
N atural Ponds have a pro¬ 
fusion of flags, rushes, reeds 
and small flowering plants 
which delight the eye. Your pool 
will be more attractive and much 
more naturalistic when planted with clumps of these 
ornamental and semi-tropical plants. 
We have divided our list of Shallow Water and 
Bog Plants into hardy and tropical varieties for your 
convenience in making selections. However, both 
groups should be included in your planting, and our 
collections are made accordingly. The rich, luxuriant 
foliage of the tropicals gives an effect that is not ob¬ 
tainable when only hardy varieties are used.
